Too Old Please darling let’s not speak of this No discussions on time’s speeding kiss Your age you can’t really change My age I cannot rearrange How old is too old anyway Let’s just be grateful for each day Don’t let’s talk of this again All it does is cause you pain Please darling don’t talk to me Of what I’m supposed to see You can’t expect me to care About others opinion here or there This relationship is far too fine To be strained by the hands of time What does age mean anyway? It’s just immaterial what folk say Please darling let’s have no more I find this speech such a bore We can’t change the way things are Time’s distance isn’t near of far You’re not too old I’m not too young Our time has only just begun You love me and that I know As I love you despite time’s flow Marsha dedicated to J, now can we drop this subject darling To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Marsha, This is a change of pace for you. Put some helium in your bubbles and you'll both be flying.  Loved the poem. |

Age is a label put on boxes to keep people in.Age can be an insidious form of bigotry. paladin |

"This relationship is far too fine To be strained by the hands of time"  I love this! Now go get those bubbles *sigh* mentioned, and celebrate love over time. |

The feelings of one about another...and the feelings of another about another.. Desire is not based upon the depth of one's skin, but the size of one's heart. Easier said than felt for some.... You have said your feelings perfectly dear Mushy....That is all that you can do. |

sweet sis, you have penned your words perfectly in this...and your words are SO TRUE. Age really is just a number, and all of us regardless if we're "young" or "old" should just enjoy and make the most of the time God gives us. This was a wonderfully brilliant write and from your heart as always! excellent...i loved it! take care. love you. amy  "you can't stop |

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Marsha, this is soooooo wonderfully heartfelt, sweet friend, I believe we are all always young at heart and forever young, for the spirit of the child will always be with us just as the old soul of wisdom will cradle us always in our youth! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Marsha, thank you for sharing!  May love and light alays shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This relationship is far too fine To be strained by the hands of time What does age mean anyway? It’s just immaterial what folk say So true, Marsha...and so beautifully expressed.  ~ageless hugsLyra |

Hello Marsha This was wonderful and how very true were your words. So many search for the fountain of youth, not willing to grow old gracefully. There are far too many vain people in this world for my liking who solely look for external beauty. I like to look further into a person's soul to where the real treasure is. Take care......Sue Suetang |
